Hi Nik,
Two things:
1) If you are having any weird behavior with mutes on an Elite, the 1st
thing to do is go through each module and tighten the nut and bolt that
goes between the upper and lower circuit boards (just between Aux-4 and
the top Eq/Filter/Insert switches). This connection is critical for the
correct operation of the Mute FET's as it carries the ground connection
for that circuit.
2) There is something fundamentally wrong with your console. We have
been kicking this around here for something like two years (actually
since Feb. 21, 2008 to be exact). One thing I would check right away is
to make sure that ALL of the ground connections that come in from the
power supply connector are securely tied to the frame of the console.
This usually happens right below the L & R VU meters. Make sure that all
of the connections are there, and make sure that they are tight. I think
you have a mid 80's vintage Elite, which also had a ground strap that
ran from that point to the motherboard in the master section. Make sure
that is securely fastened to the motherboard. I would then check to see
that the frame is securely bolted together.
Let us know what you find out. One more thing: Please give us any
and all pertinent background information...like especially if it WAS
working and then this cropped up, AND, if you were inside the console
for any reason before this came up.
Best,
Ike

Hi Nik,
No, it should be quiet. What kind of noise are you getting with
the mute/un-mute cycle?
best,
Ike

Hi everyone!
like a recent discussion here i have really bad noise problems on
the bus! I recently changed the powersupply of my elite and got a
new one from neotek which solved a few problems i had for ages. Now
i get really bad hum when i switch to bus on the channels. Also all
channels make noise when muted and unmuted. Does that sound like
something common?
Thanx
